Procedures For Installing Hessian Backed Carpet
A person who is keen to correctly position a hessian backed carpet in the most proper location, then he could get a lot of help if he goes through the instructions given below. To lay the carpet in the correct position, the implements that will be required are Stanley knife, measuring tape, knee kicker, straight edge and adhesive. One can put the underlay according to his or her choice and some gripper rods are required to complete the whole process of carpet fixation. The base material could be any material of one’s choice, and some gripper rods would help to fasten the carpet properly.
If there is a rug already lying in the place where you wish to affix your hessian backed carpet then you need to strip it away totally and make the underlying area completely free of dust and spotless. The floor on which the rug will be fixed needs to be reliably strong and gap free. The gripper rods should be placed on the ground next. The gripper rods are actually made of plywood having thin strips and pointed sharp at the top. What these gripper rods do while the rug is laid from end to end in a room is to hold one end of the rug immobile so that it cannot move. While laying the carpet about 5 mm gap has to be kept in between the end part of the carpet and the wall. Generally, they are found to be fitted with nails made of masonry but glue procured from carpet shop is also to be needed for installation purpose of the carpet. Then the total length of the hessian backed carpet, a little bit bigger than the actual size of the total floor area, has to be cut from the roll of the carpet. While cutting away the correct size of the hessian backed carpet you need from a bigger roll of carpet, you should take care to cut a piece which is slightly larger than the size of the room where it will be laid. Now, this length of the carpet has to be placed on the floor ensuring that it remains straight all along and overlaps a portion of the wall. The carpet piece has to be then tightly fitted at the one end of the wall. After this you need to push the carpet towards the wall with your knee by placing the knee knick kicker in the center of the carpet. This operation has to be carried out in lengthwise first and then repeated in breadth wise. In this way, hessian backed carpet will be installed in the desired place.
There are professional persons who would undertake the above job if paid suitably but what is the necessity of hiring them when one can do the job himself with proper tools and knowledge about hessian backed carpet laying and thus saving the cost of installation performed by the professional persons.
